The command takes the text and parses it under the assumption
that it contains a CVS log as generated by cvs log. The
resulting information is stored in the variables whose names were
specified via evar, cvar, and fvar.

Already existing information in the referenced variables is preserved,
allowing the caller to merge data from multiple logs into one
database.

varname evar (in)

Has to refer to a scalar variable. After the call this variable will
contain a list of all the entries found in the log file. An entry is
identified through the combination of date and author, and can be
split over multiple physical entries, one per touched file.

It should be noted that the entries are listed in the same order as
they were found in the text. This is not necessarily sorted by
date or author.

Each item in the list is a list containing two elements, the date of
the entry, and its author, in this order. The date is formatted as
year/month/day.

varname cvar (in)

Has to refer to an array variable. Keys are strings containing the
date and author of log entries, in this order, separated by a comma.

The values are lists of comments made for the entry.

varname fvar (in)

Has to refer to an array variable. Keys are strings containing
date, author of a log entry, and a comment for that entry, in this
order, separated by commas.

The three arguments for this command are the same as the last three
arguments of the command ::doctools::cvs::scanLog. This command
however expects them to be filled with information about one or more
logs. It takes this information and converts it into a text in the
format of a ChangeLog as accepted and generated by emacs. The
constructed text is returned as the result of the command.

This document, and the package it describes, will undoubtedly contain
bugs and other problems.
Please report such in the category doctools of the
Tcllib Trackers.
Please also report any ideas for enhancements you may have for either
package and/or documentation.
